Minnesota Health Care Fraud Charge Requires Criminal Defense Lawyer

Health care fraud is a very serious offense in Minnesota. It is also a crime. If the Minnesota Department of Human Services (“DHS”) finds fraud, you will be charged with a crime in state or federal court. Examples of fraud by health care providers that the DHS Office of the Inspector General regulates include things like false and fraudulent claims submitted by health care providers, altering claims, overbilling, billing for health care services that weren’t provided, reporting false employment hours, and providing false time sheets.  The DHS may audit your healthcare company or respond to a tip provided to them. If your company is audited, the DHS will find any discrepancies in reporting and accounting.

Even if a mistake was made with no fraudulent “intent,” it is still possible to be charged with a crime. DHS has many rules that come into play and providers must strictly adhere to them. The DHS will also likely seek fines and restitution. The fines and restitution can be hundreds of thousands of dollars and in some cases millions. If you retain an attorney at the beginning of an investigation conducted by DHS, it is possible you can avoid charges all together. Minnesota Criminal Defense Lawyer Max A. Keller often goes to interviews conducted by the DHS with his clients. Max Keller will also work on getting your money back if health care programs withhold your money during the DHS investigation.

What to Do If You Have Been Charged with a Criminal Offense

Male Public Defender Presenting Case. When does the defense present evidence in a criminal case

When Does the Defense Present Evidence in a Criminal Case in Minnesota?

A Santa Clara University study shows that over one million people in Minnesota have criminal records. In Minneapolis alone, 5,713 crimes are reported annually within an area of 100,000 residents. These criminal cases require the defendants to present evidence challenging the prosecutor's narrative. So, when does the defense present evidence in a criminal case? Your defense team presents evidence at the trial phase right after the prosecution team completes outlining the facts it intends to prove and how its evidence will prove you guilty.
